Hello Ilana,

The growth of space exploration and the private aerospace industry opens up a wealth of economic opportunities. Indeed, according to Morgan Stanley these sectors could represent a trillion dollars by 2040.

Israel is making great strides in aerospace technology. The country has developed its own line of orbital rockets, the Shavit “Comet” series. This one has launched numerous satellites over the years. A few years ago (4 years), Israel attempted a mission to land a robotic lander on the moon, which was only accomplished by the United States and Russia.

Eytan Stibbe is the second Israeli astronaut to successfully go into space. It completed its two-week mission in Earth orbit in partnership with Axiom Space and SpaceX as part of the Israeli Rakia mission.

Israel aims to accelerate the aerospace revolution and certainly plays a dominant role in the global space race.

In 1994, signed space cooperation with Israel, resulting in the Venus mission. This satellite aims to report on the evolution of natural vegetation cycles on Earth.

The French company Multiplast – specialist in the construction of competition boats and composite materials – and the Israeli startup Eviation Aircraft have joined forces for the development of solar aircraft fuselage.

Israeli companies are making significant strides toward the commercialization and viability of space travel.

Let’s start with the company:

  • Ramon Space is a cloud computing service that has been part of 50 different space missions without failure. It offers remote sensing, IoT, satellite communications and data management services.
  • SpacePharma carries out scientific tests in a low gravity environment. The goal is to study the effects of microgravity on biological systems such as aging. And also the use of muscles and biochemical reactions with bacteria. The company has already carried out three independently launched missions.
  • New Rocket is a green propulsion company. It seeks to apply its non-toxic PowerGel technology to space propulsion. But also, landing propulsion and various other propulsion needs in low orbit for satellites or capsules. Its novelty lies in its non-toxic composition, which meets new industry standards. And also in its ability to turn on and off, allowing another crucial component of space technology to be reusable and durable.
  • Stemrad: Radiation exposure is one of the most immediate dangers space travelers and astronauts will face. A new jacket design offers astronauts a new level of protection. The company also develops protective equipment for various terrestrial environments that expose workers to radiation: firefighting, homeland security, medical environments and nuclear reactors.

CONCLUSION.

  • Five new science and technology priorities have been identified by the Israeli government – ​​food technology, renewable energy, bioconvergence, space technology and bluetech – to enable the country to maintain its position on the international scene.medical elements and nuclear reactors.

MOST. The French company Multiplast – specialist in the construction of competition boats and composite materials – and the Israeli startup Eviation Aircraft have joined forces for the development of solar aircraft fuselage.

Specializing in aerospace, the Israeli start-up Eviation Aircraft has set itself the objective of transforming the regional tourism sector by developing new modes of air transport that are sustainable, affordable and economically viable. She is currently working on the design of an electric plane – called “Alice” – whose maintenance costs, energy consumption and thus environmental impact will be reduced.

World renowned in the field of ocean racing and in the design of prototypes in composite materials, the -based company Multiplast has been working to diversify its activities for around twenty years. It has thus developed in the industrial sector, and particularly in the space and aeronautics sectors. It also intends to move towards the manufacture of mass-produced elements – such as aircraft fuselages.

It was following a meeting between the two companies in 2019 during the European composite show in that the start-up Eviation Aircraft decided to entrust the French manufacturer with the production of the fuselages of its future electric aircraft.
Thus, by producing the all-carbon fuselage of this innovative and sustainable transport solution, the French company continues its dynamic of diversification in the industrial sector and at the same time contributes to the development of Franco-Israeli cooperation in the aeronautics field.
